[Synapse elist] cymbiosis

[Shuhei Miyashita]

Hello Akos,

Yes, I agree that tooth filling, eyeglasses, clothes,
shoes, even a car (or an elevator?) that we are controlling 
can be something that we can consider what replace/enhance 
parts of our body capability.

What I concern is, nowadays the fact that we haven't ensured
that we are something really beyond objects makes social 
problems more difficult to solve.
Some must have been easier to be solved when people ignorantly 
believed they are "human".

As you know, we once hoped that it is consisting materials that 
code the difference - which turned out not to be true,
the possession of DNA or the ability of self-replication, not true,
and now it becomes more and more riddlesome what we are.

It may not only just be difficult to draw a line, 
but there might be no boarder to draw a line.


All the best,

Shuhei
